Felix Baumgartner, the man who jumped, was the first human to break the sound barrier during free fall. His nine minute, nine second jump also broke the previous highest manned balloon flight and highest free fall records set in 1960.

The exhibit at the Rocket Center features Baumgartner's balloon capsule and his pressurized space suit. The interactive displays explain the mission and the technological and scientific advancements that resulted.

Key members of the Stratos team will speak at the Rocket Center on Aug. 15 as part of the center's Pass the Torch lecture series.

Retired Air Force Col. Joe Kittenger will be one of the speakers. Kittenger held the previous records for highest manned balloon flight
and highest free fall and was Baumgartner's primary point of contact
during the capsule's ascent.
